# HunyuanVideo original family

Maintaining local video pipelines and comparing migrations

- **Availability**: legacy
- **Where it runs**: local
- **Costs**: GPU compute plus pipeline maintenance, whether you use your own hardware or rent it.
- **Adult content policy**: conditional

Keep an approved original-family pipeline when you need to reproduce older character clips or compare a replacement against a known baseline. The family has separate text-to-video, image-to-video and customization releases; pin the checkpoint, encoders and settings that produced the clip. A shared name is a poor reason to swap their files. For a new project, compare it with HunyuanVideo 1.5 before committing to the older setup. Its videos still need loop editing, playback checks and game integration. The original community license also limits where you may use and distribute the results.

## Commercial use & license

The original Tencent community license excludes the EU, UK and South Korea, including use, distribution and display of outputs. It also requires conspicuous AI disclosure for content placed in public contexts. Check the selected checkpoint’s terms, attribution obligations and commercial conditions before release; they are not Apache terms.

## Adult content rules

The original AUP requires compliance with laws and regional moral standards; it does not expressly approve sexual content. Check the selected checkpoint’s AUP and input rights before adult-game use. Local execution does not remove those conditions.

## What you need

Original 13B text-to-video: NVIDIA GPU with CUDA; Linux is the tested OS. The documented 129-frame settings require 45GB at 544×960 or 60GB at 720×1280, with 80GB recommended. FP8/offload and separate image-to-video/customization releases have their own setups. Keep the checkpoint, VAE and text encoders matched.

Ranks are recommendations for the task described, based on reviewed documentation. Model ranks cover non-explicit development work. We have not run practical benchmarks. Check content policies and commercial terms separately. [How the ranks work](https://bestadultgames.io/en/developers/methodology.md)

Last checked 5 October 2026.

## Why consider it

- Local control of seeds, frame count and output size
- Reference-image animation and customization through separate family releases
- A fixed older pipeline for comparing migration results

## Tradeoffs to plan for

- High GPU memory demands in the documented base configuration
- Separate family releases need their own components
- Territorial and acceptable-use restrictions affect release plans

The tier reflects documented fit for the workflow described here and availability. No numeric score or hands-on performance results are provided.
